I guess I should explain that the Vulcan ribs on higher grade guns that I have seen have been factory rebarrelled guns, not guns that have had new ribs installed. I have never seen a gun with the scenario of rib and barrel flat marking of the gun in question. It's still a neat gun for about $1039.00 until the mystery is explained. It is beyond belief that the poor rib installation was done at Parker Brothers or Remington. No Remington repair codes eliminate the last possibility. We have not seen a new rib with a mismatched logo factory installed on a Parker, ever.

I just saw this post and I am wondering why people are even questioning this gun, many of you have seen my new in box skeet gun in the same serial number range, and the case colors are a maybe on the sides ( real maybe) but look at the watertable that tells the story it's a flat "no" . The gun has been redone and as Bill points out the "barrel rib"...?

Ed got a great buy on the gun at somewhere north of $1800.00. It's a great gun.

Yup, Opening Day is correct. The watertable will tell the tale. It always has a distinct pattern when original.
